i was out side the theater before i was about to preform , rehearsing my lines over and over to myself , calming the nasty stinging feeling of a panic attack right down to only a small pin prick until i realized something unbelievable their was a injured German Shepard  standing in front of me giving me that look of misfortune i hindered in surprise also in fear as i waited for the next move .

it looked and me and i looked at it it was almost like we were in a boxing ring and waiting till the referee  blew his whistle for the match to commence, weirdly I felt like i had seen that dog before yet i really don't know where . suddenly i was kicked out of my trance by an awakening sound of the school band starting the big entrance of the show yet i couldn't just leave the dog their , in that moment of time the dog had created a bloody puddle of where it stood that put me on edge, i decided right on that spot that i was going to help that dog . 

i was a little unsure how i was going to help it but i was determined and i wasn't going to let it suffer any more , so i budged a little bit forward and carefully let out my shaking hand hoping not to loose it and wished for the beast to sniff it and hopefully start to trust me i still don't know how i had the courage to do it , yet it didn't go to plan the dog just stayed their emotionless and still in that gaze. all of a sudden it turned to the direction to are school car park , now i'm in a dilemma who to go with preform or chase a hurt dog , i was stupid in that moment in time i was only fussed  with that dog ,so chasing the weirdest dog I've ever met here we go .


so i started running  , like a hack following a baby rabbit , i went through the car park and up to the town park , i was really out of breath wishing i had chosen the other option yet it was too late now i was over half way through town  and nearly getting to the end of it  until the dog stopped right in front of the town remembrance park where the poppies were still stuck in the grass clinging on to the roots of some decrepit trees . 

the dog just stopped at one of the promising poppies after sniffing out of all of them then plucked it out of the ground trying to not bash it agents its injured leg and went over to me and dropped the poppy in front of me and gave me that dependent look again . with no hesitation i picked up the poppy and held it in my hands i was confused until i had a look of what it said on it .

my eyes were in a trance when reading the words that were rote on the poppy 

it said 

'to daddy i love you,

 i will always be their for you even if you cant for me ,

i will cry every night just to beg that it never happened buddy and me ,

i will always remember you ,

you will  always remember me ,

buddy will to '

that brought a tear to my eye and the frightening thing is that at the bottom of the writing their was a big paw print one of a dog and suddenly i looked at the dog who was studying my face all the way through me reading it . then i had a brain stormier idea what if that dog was buddy he has to be so i said 'buddy' to be greeted with a responsive bark from the dog. So there it was i knew the name of the dog but where was its owners , before searching for his owner lets get that narly wound  helped out .
